ANNA BASA “We were shocked to know that there was an P11-million cash advance given to Corona in his SALN report.” RICHARD REYES

Impeached Chief Justice Renato Corona reported in his statements of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALNs) in 2003 and 2004 that he had obtained an P11-million cash advance from Basa-Guidote Enterprise Inc. (BGEI).

The alleged loan has turned media attention to BGEI, the company established in 1961 by the family of the Chief Justice’s wife, Cristina Roco-Corona, and the internal squabble that pitted one side of the family against another.

At the impeachment trial, Corona’s lawyers said the money [P32.6 million according to the prosecution] withdrawn by Corona from his three peso time deposit accounts with Philippine Savings Bank (PSBank) on Dec. 12, 2011, came from the proceeds of the sale of a piece of BGEI property to the City of Manila. The withdrawals came on the same day that 188 members of the House of Representatives impeached the Chief Justice.

Jose Ma. Basa III, one of the original BGEI stockholders and Cristina’s uncle, had filed an estafa case against his niece for her alleged failure to account for the P34-million income from the sale of a property on Bustillos Street in Sampaloc, Manila, to the city government.

The case, however, was dismissed by the court, and Cristina won a libel case against Jose Ma. III and his wife for putting out a public notice in the Philippine Daily Inquirer which she alleged was malicious and put her in a bad light. Jose Ma. III died not long after in the United States. [The notice appeared in the Classified Section of the Inquirer on June 4, 1995. It announced that Jose Ma. III, who claimed to be a majority stockholder, had filed a criminal case against Cristina for allegedly misappropriating rentals due BGEI.]

In this interview, Ana Basa, one of Jose Ma. III’s nine children and one of the heirs of the original stockholders of BGEI, talks about the family corporation and what she claims were the injustices heaped on them by the Corona couple. Some paragraphs of the transcript of the interview were interposed for clarity.

For security reasons, Ana, who is here on a short visit, requested the Inquirer not to reveal her whereabouts. She has been in the casino business for more than 20 years now in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The impeachment trial will resume on March 12, and it will be the turn of the defense panel to prove that the P11 million that Corona declared as a liability in his SALN and the P32.6 million he withdrew from PSBank on December 12 did not belong to him.

PDI: I understand you are already based in the US. Why are you here in the Philippines?

ANA BASA: We came here mainly to visit my Tita Flory, who is a nun. She just turned 90 and is one of the original stockholders of BGEI. She’s the sister of my father and Cristina’s mother, Asuncion Roco.

Part of the reason we came is because, you know, we never dreamed that BGEI or even the stockholders would be involved in this impeachment case. The only reason we are sitting here with you now is because Renato Corona included BGEI in his SALN report. That was the first time the stockholders learned about his business interest in BGEI. The original stockholders—my father, Asuncion Basa, Mario Basa and Sister Concepcion Basa—have passed away, except for Sister Flory Basa. So we were shocked that there was an P11-million cash advance given to Corona in his SALN report.

We’re coming out now because we’ve been asking the controlling body of BGEI to show us the corporate books. We’ve been asking for this for years and years, I believe since 1989. Cristina Corona is the administratrix of BGEI and stockholders have been denied their legal rights to inspect the books of BGEI.

BASA-GUIDOTE BUILDING SITE Residents say the Basa-Guidote building used to stand on this vacant lot in Legarda, Manila. GRIG C. MONTEGRANDE

The remaining stockholders, who are now in their late 80s and 90s, including Sister Flory Basa, still have pending cases involving BGEI. We’re not doing this to either support or oppose Corona’s impeachment. But in the past 20 plus years, they heaped sufferings upon my parents, Jose Ma. III and Raymunda “Randy,” and the rest of the stockholders of BGEI. So much injustice has happened and (sobbed) … this makes me sad when I talk about this because it brings back memories of my dad who fought and struggled just to get justice.

It’s almost impossible for someone like Cristina Roco-Corona to be able to heap this injustice on us without someone there to help her. Talagang inapi kami (We were really oppressed) in a way that I can’t even express in words the sufferings. So I just want to make people realize that we believe that a Chief Justice whom Cristina is married to was involved in this type of injustice because Cristina on her own could not have done that.

You know, there were incidents where my parents were being harassed. There were people sent to our house with guns, scaring my parents, and phone calls in the middle of the night because there were pending cases regarding this corporation.

Inapi kami talaga (We were really oppressed). If they can do (this) to their own blood relatives, what more to people out there who are old, are not politicians, are not rich and are not lawyers? My parents were just ordinary citizens, just being good citizens here in the Philippines and yet to have your own blood relatives cause this type of injustice is … (sobbed)

My father unfortunately passed away without getting justice. My mother, who is one of the stockholders and is now 83, still wants to see justice. Imagine up to now, we still have a warrant of arrest because there was a libel case that was filed against us. She wanted to come here to visit Tita Flory, a nun for over 60 years, on her 90th birthday. Sister Flor was actually asked about her wish. She said “I just wanna see justice in my lifetime.” Imagine a nun even saying that? And then there was an incident—our caretaker whom Corona pointed a gun at.

Caretaker

PDI: Who was that?

BASA: Mang Indo (Pedro Aguilon). It happened when my father came here because he heard complaints from tenants of BGEI. We went to the property where BGEI was located. Mang Indo was a caretaker there. He let us into the property one evening. The Coronas got mad. Mang Indo said he was so scared that he did not want to file a case against Corona after the latter put a gun to his head. He feared that if he filed a case, Corona might kill him.

The barangay captain was actually encouraging him to file a case but he was so afraid. He is not rich and does not have the means to do so.

He just executed a sworn statement of what actually happened to him so that in the event that something really happened to him, at least people would know this experience he had.

When Corona put a gun to his head, Corona said: Gusto mo bang pasabugin kong mukha mo (Do you want me to blast your face)? That’s what the Chief Justice said to him back in 1997 (showing to the Inquirer the original copy of Mang Indo’s sworn affidavit).

PDI: At that time, Corona was … what?

BASA : At that time, he was already with Malacañang Palace, and I believe he was adviser for legal affairs for President (Fidel) Ramos. I know my father had written to President Ramos about our case, what’s been happening to us, and to GMA (President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo).

We never really got any kind of support or response. I believe that Corona has been the dutiful power behind the scenes that allowed his wife to mock the laws of the land. She arrogated unto herself sole control of the family-owned Basa-Guidote Enterprises Inc. because, no matter how hard Cristina would have tried, she would not have succeeded without the assistance of her husband. He walked the corridors of power and obviously he knows how to make full use of the powers at his disposal.

I must confess that I agonize over this decision to come out and spill unflattering information about Chief Justice Corona. But this painful side of what happened to us must be told because the truth about Corona must be set free. He has made life miserable for our family and relatives. He can do more harm to others. We are coming out, comforted by the thought that we are doing our share to make the country aware of this man and to protect the integrity of the Supreme Court.

You know, we just want to let people know about our side of the story. This is not about the (impeachment) case. It’s about the injustice. We just want to bring it out in the open—the kind of person he is. Again, we’re not a vindictive people. We are not here to get even or anything. We just want to let the people know that the suffering and injustice that were inflicted on my family and the rest of the stockholders. We still haven’t received justice. This has been going on (for), my God! Over 20 years.

We’ve been wanting to get an accounting of BGEI. We have not received any kind of accounting. That’s all what we really wanted—to see the books. Stockholders are entitled to that. That’s their right and yet they’ve been deprived of that. So now that my dad had passed away, we at least would want to have my mom and the rest of the remaining stockholders to be able to live peacefully, knowing that justice has been served.

Shocked

PDI: Have you been following the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Corona?

BASA: Yeah. Actually, since it first came out, we were shocked to read that in the papers that there was an impeachment trial that was going to happen against Chief Justice Corona. The reason that we’re following is that BGEI has been brought up. … In fact, we really feel sad for his family and what they must be going through.

PDI: And the Corona children?

BASA: May sympathy din naman ako sa family.

In God’s time

PDI: What about Cristina?

BASA: I said family.

PDI: The Chief Justice is in trouble for betrayal of public trust, graft and corruption, and culpable violation of the Constitution. Do you see any poetic justice here?

BASA: We always felt that we’re not in control, God is in control. Everything’s gonna happen in God’s time, so perhaps all of our prayers are being answered. Tita Flory is very forgiving because she’s a nun, but what about the truth? Even if you forgive someone, what about the truth? What about the injustice? This is the reason why, against all odds, the Basa family is pressing on with the struggle for justice.

It is a struggle for all the abuse and excesses they did to their own clan. It is a struggle and will continue until the “Honorable” Chief Justice will be made to answer for all the injustices and for mocking the laws of the land. It is about justice and redeeming the Filipino’s hope and trust in the workings of democracy and government.

What we know for sure is that God will render justice with all fairness, equality and firmness that have been denied the Basa family and so many others in their long and lonely fight for dignity. Indeed, all the trouble and tears will not be in vain.

PDI: Considering the public humiliation that the Coronas are going through (because of the impeachment), can you now say that’s prayers heard?

BASA: We always felt that everything happens in God’s time. We did not bring this out. What’s happening to them is their own doing. We did not do anything to cause that to them. They brought it on themselves. We just happened to be included in the impeachment case because it was mentioned in the SALN report.

And I know that Corona’s lawyers were saying, “Why are they coming out only now?” It’s because we only found out [about the P11 million and P32.6 million recently]. Had we known about these things, we could have come out in the open much earlier.

But we didn’t know, besides we were so helpless and powerless. As I said, we’ve been kept in the dark all these years about BGEI. We didn’t know about the cash advance, that the money withdrawn on Dec. 12, 2011, from three different accounts under Corona’s name was said to belong to BGEI.

PDI: Do you see this impeachment as a welcome development for the heirs?

BASA: Well, with the impeachment, what happened was there were a lot of revelations for us.

PDI: Do you see the light at the end of the tunnel?

BASA: Well, you know what? I used to say that we could not see the light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully, this will be the last chapter of this whole ugly, bitter struggle that we have experienced. It’s very painful to really watch our family suffer in their hands. You know, it says “who are we to judge?” I’m not judging anybody.

Constantine Caacbay

I told you guys! That’s why I don’t think Corona is still fit to assume the role of being the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. When a relative comes out in the open to assail you, then it must be real! The Corona lawyers cannot just keep on denying this issue, it’s a very valid issue which says a lot about the character of Corona. Something is not right with the Chief Justice!

gatak

now i know. and that is really painful. i won’t even drink corona beer anymore.

So thats it now! Can you imagine what is like to be a person who robbed and squandered the money and properties of your whole clan? By just looking at the face of this Corona pig you are seeing a very sly and horrendous criminal.

erisq2003

The Problem is the law use to dismis His case. Its more painful to see the law was made to all for justice and truth, and yet THE LAW WAS USED TO HIDE & COVER THE TRUTH AND THATS WHY THE INJUSTICE COME.
Just like the impeachment, there are so many evidence gather but cannot come out because the Law use to not let it out. Badtrip ano? Kung talagang wala syang kasalanan bakit di nya hayaan ilabas ang evidence saka nya idepensa?

http://www.facebook.com/people/David-Cruss/100003271547348 David Cruss

That’s shallow. You dont judge a person by his face or the book by its cover. But by the way you say things, without issues and facts to support it but the media black propaganda, it is clear that you are supporting the wrong cause of the Danding Cojuangco-Aquino clan. he he.

coronapig6

The book you’re blabbering about has no more cover and the pages has been tattered and torn apart because Corona the pig gnawed it as he have done in squandering the properties of the Basa-Guidote…not only one or several families’ but the ENTIRE CLAN..

Anyway, Way to go Ana Basa for courageously coming out & exposing the oppressive acts of the Coronas. Corona’s obviously not fit to be CJ. God’s indeed sovereign & may your family finally get the justice that eluded you for decades. Let the truth prevail! Truth has an uncanny way of unraveling itself no matter how the crooks suppress it & oppress the powerless.

pave25

The article is one-sided and not balanced.

It does not present the side of the Coronas and there was no attempt (AS USUAL) on the part of the Inquirer to get their side.

(Some papers would even say: the reporter tried to contact the party of …. but they refused to give comments)

This is all litany of accusations, emotional outpouring, hearsay accounts, and unsupported claims.

The Basa family has lost their case in the courts long before Corona was appointed to the SC.

The couple was also convicted of libel, which was not served because they left for US.

But I do share your wish that justice be served and this whole case be put to rest.

It would be all up to the Basa family, if they are willing to face the charges against them. As they always say: flight is a sign of guilt.

PinoyConcerned888

yung credibility ni corona ang nakataya dito, kung sa family circle manggagaling ang mga ganitong allegations, at may mga ginawa pala syang katarantaduhan at pang-aapi sa mismong kapamilya, how much more to the country from which he act as the chief justice? base sa statement ni Ana ginamit ni corona ang kanyang power to oppress them. If we try to analyze the situation, lawyer with power & authority vs ordinary people, who do you think will win the case?

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_TZGZIPH3LVSZT5PV6N6QQO6S34 RJBA

Coronas are overly surrounded by media people. They can always respond to the claims made by Ana Basa anytime they want. Inquirer is just 1 phone call away. I assume that they will just ignore Ms. Basa’s expositions as they would prefer the issue to bury itself on the ground than defending themselves and propping up new excuses to combat the issue. They will surely kill the issue by becoming silent, and let their lawyers handle the case in the Impeachment Court where Ms. Basa’s statements are inadmissible already.

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_WBSXS6L7F2DN7F2GAFW45KUX2M David

RJBA, I suggest you call up the Inquirer to check this: In 1998, Inquirer’s assasin journalist, Esplanada, wrote in the front page that a couple lawyers from Cagayan de Oro fleeced and deceived their clients-squatters in Cagayan de Oro who resisted Fil-Estate’s landgrabbing, that the couple-lawyers kidnapped the DPA farmer leader, and that their relatives will file fraud cases against them for landgrabbing. Until now, there is no kidnapping case, and no fraud case filed by relatives, and not a single disbarment complaint before the Supreme Court. The couple-lawyers have a pending damage suit against the Inquirer is Cagayan de Oro. Go on, call up the Prietos and Rufinos who paly golf with the hacienderos and giant businessmen up against the PAL decision which declared contractualization of workers as illegal.

If these are true, imagine the litany of offenses CJ Corona had committed. This establishes pattern of his behavior and proves the inner core of his being … and his values….

coronapig6

Values? Corona is completely devoid of human dignity. He even robbed the family of his wife’s relatives. Ms. Ana Basa is correct in saying how can’t this pig Corona do it to anybody else? He an animal pretending as a human being! Hehe! Humanda siya baka humarap din itong si Ms Basa sa Senado…

Bulalo

i “salute” pdi for this “intensive and deep investigative reporting”. indeed, pdi will go the extra mile just to advance their own interest… and to ensure that their “cause” will prevail…

if indeed, this ana basa is in good faith and the anti-corona’s got merits of the story of ana, why not present her as their witness? why float malicious imputations against the coronas instead? this only shows the libelous intent of ana basa and pdi (no wonder they were convicted already of libel).

Corona’s supporters may turn a blind eye or deaf ears to the reality that the man they so beloved is an evil at heart..How can you do that to your wife’s relatives??GREED is evil and you have it in your soul and body…what a hypocrite Corona is…same as his wife…

its a squabble among relatives. But it reveals the true character of Corona. As what the SC said, you cannot dichotomize the life of a judge or justice. He must be of high moral character in and out of the courtroom. High moral ba ang isang taong nanutok ng baril at pinagsabihan pa niya na pasabugin ang utak niya? Susmaryosep.

The guy in the PDI online who thought of the idea of banishing Disqus should be charged for robbery – of depriving so many people of the pleasure of venting their spleen at newsmakers and at each other.

thank you pdi for bringing the story from anna basa about renato corona. this is a shocking revelation coming from a close relative of cristina corona. at least she was able to tell the people of what really happened to them at the hands of the coronas. i hope the chief justice will be convicted by the impeachment court to vindicate the people whom he had victimized most especially the basa family. thank you anna basa for your courage of coming out in the open. God bless your family always.

It is very clear now why Corona blocks all the roads from SC to suppress all the evidences pertaining to the trial. Pero kusang lumilitaw ang katotohanan, gaano man kahigpit ang gawin nyang pagtago.

Patas

It is hard to deny that gun-toting incident, specially with a sworn affidavit executed.

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_OHOD5EA75DBBUH53UKLRXRK764 Mang Teban

I pity the Basa family and I thank Anna Basa for going out of her way to tell us the true character of the man many believed is a man of integrity and a citizen beyond suspicion.

I thank our Lord God for making a way for truth to come out. The only decent thing left for the chief justice who never was is to resign.

Resignation will spare the country from verbal abusers and haughty senator-judges who behave like the Pharisees that Jesus Christ warned about how they love to be seen in public places and occupy high positions of honor, placing heavy burdens on the poor but would never left a finger to help.

Resignation will mean the end of divisiveness among our people and the unity once again of Filipinos against abusive politicians and people in power. But, Renato Corona will still be accountable for his misdeeds and should be made to answer for the injustice he did to the Basa family and their enterprise. Supreme Court needs a chief justice who should be selected by the private lawyers of our country and recommended to the president for final approval. I hope that P-Noy will heed this advice that he will let the people decide who is the best candidate for the chief justice position.

I wish, too, that the defense lawyers of Corona will no longer think of delaying tactics and prolong the agony of their client. They should convince him to resign if he has any decency still left with him.

why should we believe these libelous people?
the case they filed was dismissed and that they were lost in a libel case.

I am interested on the sworn statement of Mang Indo. If they are public documents then by all means you are ordered by the Filipino people to produce(subpoena duces tecum) the document. As per Atty Cuevas, the document speaks for itself.

Bulalo

this story is worth reading for. worthy enough for comics and fil. movies. pdi should shift business from news publishing to comics/novel publishing or PR firm or propaganda outfit.

Ana Basa and her statement is the MEDIA star witness for Aquino’s public trial of Corona. How disgusting the way Aquino and his communist media machinery mock our judicial system. Really worthy of a coup d’ tat.

@ Christian Warrior Factual or not, her Ana Basa’s statements are serious in nature and worth investigating. People are interested in the truth regarding all these accusations against CJ Corona, hence, it is very unfair to conclude that P-Noy is the one instigating a public trial of CJ Corona. I for one have an interest in this trial and an overwhelming majority of our people are likewise interested. Guilty or not, all the issues against CJ Corona must come out in the open. Only the truth shall set us free!!!

pity for the filipinos for having incompetent prosecutors. the prosecution should have researched on this and be able to brought it up during the trial. not now that the presentation of evidence is already done. and if ever Corona is acquitted due to lack of evidence, people will be blaming the senate for the incompetence of the prosecution?

Danjross

I don’t think they are incompetents for they have presented enough damning evidence of wrongdoing. Incompetence is in the eye of the beholder. They have made their points which I think is sufficient to indict. It’s just that the defense team is composed of more experienced trial practitioners. But this is not a beauty contest or attorney competence contest.

tarikan

Disqus welcome back! Mr. Gani Yambot (RIP) will really like this. Tita Tina, I think a rebutal is in order, what say? The P34M (sale of BGEI property) plus P11M cash advance equals P45M. That’s Basa’s money not Corona’s. Now I understand why the CJ said “kill me first” when told to resign from his post before the impeachment trial. He is a barako gun toting animal.

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_TZGZIPH3LVSZT5PV6N6QQO6S34 RJBA

And some Bishops would ask the Impeachment Court to stop the proceedings and deal with other problems of the country. How can the problems be settled if the highest tribunal implementing the laws of the land is being manipulated by a hoodlum in a robe? Oh I forgot to mention the Bishops are also wearing robes… LMAO!

Anyway, one thing is now very clear. Corona can’t declare the money of BGEI in his SALN because it’s not his.

Ana Basa is a gambler, and she gambles everything. Justice Corona could not have been appointed to the Supreme Court if it is true as alleged by Ana. Appointments to the Court pass through the Judicial and Bar Council, and Ana and her ilk could have filed letter complaints with the JBC. Mr. Aguillon is already dead. Anybody can just produce an affidavit signed by a dead person. He cannot confirm or deny anymore. Talagang mischievous and crafty and prosecution, even using the Inquirer. May mga hitmen journalist ang Inquirer!

ofwme2807

the story has to be told by one from the basa family, because as she said it was mr. corona who brought the BGEI in this issue in his SALN..Whether her story is true or not is up to the reader. i am strongly convinced and i believed the story especially coming from a relative of not so ordinary family…they have suffered enough @ the hands of the duo – nato and tina and we believe that God in his own time and way will expose these and they will give justice to them long due them…congrats and thanks for the story again the thief is revealed from a person who has the personal knowledge and experiences with the coronas who are relatives, again we challenge the defense lawyers if what she’s saying is hearsay and not the truth…

Hehehe! I told you, just look into the eyes of CJ..you can see the dimension of his personality. Let us see beginning 3-12-12!

Attention all Senator Judges, With this revelation of Ana Basa what evidences do you still need as a proof that CJ Corona is not fit to become the Chief Justice of our Supreme Court?

pilosopotasyo

Corona whether guilty or not will be impeached. That’s for sure. The Senator Judges are not idiot. They know the Filipino people are dying to have Corona impeached. Election is soon coming. Senators who are going to impeach Corona have a sure ticket to be elected again. Even Joker Arroyo, Bong Revilla and Lito Lapid, known GMA allies will also vote for Corona’s impeachment.

ofwme2807

the revelation is timely especially the defense is preparing for the presentation of their evidences, testimonies and documents of the thief…i wonder if the story the defense will present will not be affected by this new revelation part 1 part 2 is still coming, tested and questioned especially the revelations come from one of the basa family…to the coronas read the plea of one of your own and feel their suffering brought to them…another part of the coronas is revealed and they are further buried by the truth exposed by their relative….damn to the coronas…

We’re interested in the authenticity
of the Sworn Affidavit of Mang Indo (Pedro Aguilon):

To quote PDI:

“He just executed a sworn statement of what
actually happened to him so that in the event that something really happened to
him, at least people would know this experience he had.

When Corona put a gun to his head, Corona
said: Gusto mo bang pasabugin kong mukha mo (Do you want me to blast your
face)? That’s what the Chief Justice said to him back in 1997 (showing to the
Inquirer the original copy of Mang Indo’s sworn affidavit).”

The earlier complaint/opposition of the
relatives of Corona for the CJ appointment as Justice should have been properly
investigated by JBC prior to his appointment.

Well, the composition and policy of inutile
and lameduck council called JBCneed to be overhauled.

the money coming from BGEI should have a corresponding receivable account or loan receivable account in the books of BGEI if the money is indeed a borrowing of corona and must have therefore a board resolution to sanction such amount be lent to corona knowing how big the amount because it can not just be decided by the management alone. Likewise the payment of his condominium of which the title was transferred only upon full payment must have a corresponding receivable account on his SALN for his installment payment of such.

Where are the Corona bloggers. How do you defend your idol now?

Do we see some of the characters from him? I say none of it. I see oppressive and violators of grave human rights which he asserted for himself (Cuevas always pronounced it in the trial) Does he deserve such rights also? None a bit, he deserves to be hanged or beheaded.

a coin has two sides. this story is just the other side of the coin.let us not judge prematurely….and also, this i think is a propaganda material either for pro or anti corona.
this is how politics is run in the philippines. publicity, propaganda, media…. Sad but true.

this is the beauty of having a free media we can analyze if it is propaganda, publicity, media stunt or whatever. But information is information it is up to the individual reader to evaluate or analyze what he reads. Wherever we are in the world there is always propaganda we just have to weigh things.

of course the Ab-Noynoy fanatics will take this PDI interview with Ana Basa as a sacred truth even though Ana Basa is not under oath nor risk being charged with contempt when she was saying all of this because it is only a media interview and not as a court witness. As usual, like the Master mind and the 188 cohort congressmen, it is all for the sake of media stunt. How I wish that Tupaz will put her on witness stand and let’s see what the court says how it is relevant to the impeachment case.

of course the CoronaGloria fanatics will turn a blind-eye on the “obvious” and defend their “Buwaya God” in the likes of Corona para lang di matalo sa argumento – and will take all evidences pointed against their “Buwaya God” as matters of publicity stunts but wouldn’t take those evidences/gossips “for” their “Buwaya God Corona” as heresay.

yeah right. get real dude. either you have benefited much from the previous administration or your just plain stupid not to see the reality of what corona et al had done in the past.

the prosecution team must dig deeper. they should go to the city treasurer’s office & city accountant’s office of manila city ask in whose name the check was issued (definitely its in the name of BGEI) ask for a certified true copy of the cancelled check used to pay BGEI. Ask for a copy of the board resolution on who is authorized to received the check payment. Examine the endorsement at the back of the check, trace to whose account it was deposited or who encashed the check or whether there was a board resolution authorizing the opening of the account for the deposit of the proceeds. Or is it Mrs. Corona doing all the transactions alone in behalf of the corporation?

A chief justice of injustice. R. Corona you have no right ever to be in the Supreme Court!!

if CORONA can do it to his own family,, why he ca not do it to others. o baka naman sasabihin ni CORONA publicity lang iyan,,, ang tanong, bakit nagpuntahan sa america ang mga kaanak niya kung walang harassment sa kanila? tama lang ang ginawa ni ANA BASA,,expose the evil works of CORONA and let the will of God shall prevail,, at Gods own time.

i believe that Corona has to do the right thing for the institution of the courts. to maintain the faith of the people that the court renders just and fair decision, he must give way and resign as chief justice. if decisions of the SC will remain to be in his inclination of thinking then he regains the respect to be right all along. rather than holding on to the position and drag the whole institution with him down to the mud.

is he trying to show that he is the only person who can dispose of controversies in the right and judicious manner. there are plenty of brilliant minds around who i believe can dispense with justice in the right manner. if all those money are really his from the very start then he does not need the court to be able to support his family (families).

WHY DON’T YOU JUST LEAVE AND SAVE THE INSTITUTION INTACT WITH THE RESPECT OF THE PEOPLE, STILL BELIEVING THAT THE COURTS ARE STILL FIGURES OF JUSTICE AND FAIRNESS. SAVE THE INSTITUTIONS SINCE PEOPLE COME AND GO BUT THE INSTITUTIONS REMAIN.

Thief Justice Renato Corona has withdrawn a total of P36.2 million from three accounts at Philippine Savings Bank (PSBank) on Dec. 12, 2011, the day he was impeached by the House of Representatives

The three accounts he was referring to were 089-121023848 (opened on June 29, 2011 with an initial deposit of P17 million); 089-12101593 (opened on Dec. 22, 2009 with an initial deposit of P8,500,000 and ending balance of P12,580,316.56 as of Dec. 31, 2010) and 089-121021681 (opened on Sept 1, 2007 with an initial deposit of P7,090,099.45). All three accounts were closed on Dec. 12, 2011

Cristina won a legal battle over the issue, right? So, why then that some people continue to make statements as if the Coronas really do not have the capacity to have millions?

The CJ is right. He must defend himself in person at the trial and show them all that his millions are Cristina’s wealth.

i’m not pro or anti corona…nagtataka lang ako kung bakit may mga taong galit na galit at nagmumura, samantalang di pa naman tapos iyong kaso. let’s just wait for the court to let out a verdict. after all, what is the court’s use for?…. you’re just being carried by the propaganda wave thrown against corona by the media, bro….we are all carried by the culture of negativity cultivated by the media….bawat balita, may patay o patayan, sa showbiz, kung hindi, away, iyakan…because we filipinos love negativism and animosity. and media is one major culprit of it, and we love being victims of it…in the end, media has the power over us, and they become stronger and richer, IRRESPONSIBLY.

Mr. Jonas, we are not deaf nor blind to infer and conclude who is Corona. Overhwelming proof as to the moral charactyer Corona would point out who is he. Before he is appointed as Justice, Ana Basa already wrote to the JBC about his incompentent, morrally but it was ignored. Now, justice caught him in the impeachment trial. We see black and we see white. The media has nothing to do, the facts will bare out.

There is always the other side of the coin…can we hear the side of the Coronas? Am sure they will say the above statements are just “demolition acts” out to destroy the already destroyed dignity and honor of the Coronas. The Corona camp will surely belie these accusations. A typical scenario between the accuser and the accused. May the party who is telling the truth be blessed by Allah.

Allahu Akbar!!!!

If this is a telenovela, the scriptwriter will have a hard time to invent an idea or reaons why Corona was able to control the corporation besides using the judiary or the power of influence as Justice of the SC. We will anticipate that Corona’s side will be that the 11M in 2002 was lend to him from his wife , then the BPI and PSbank close to 75M were taken from the sale , then the rest from his profession. We are not fools.

Crisitna’s wealth stashed from her relatives. she should havelong ago distributed the money to the heirs. Na karma tuloy siya. Not only that, she is depriving her 90 year old aunt and cousins? Masyadong garapal at sakim sa pera. She and Corona deserve each other. They are a perfect couple for greed and a lifetime of shame.

Kasi, he is not contented with his loot now, he wants more and to stay means more money, kaya na karma. Let in be forfeited as afar as it goes beyond the Basa inheritance. Foreign accounts amounting to 40M dollars should be sequestered.

ofwme2807

you see its clear the money hidden in the banks of the thief is not his, theirs as shown by his sworn SALN showing his his disproportionate legal incomes, they would like to say now that the money came from his wife tina’s relatives’ money possibly stolen by tina from BGEI, either of the 2 he, they incriminated himself or both…one thing is clear its not his money its ill gotten money or combination of ill-gotten and BGEI money, he’s damned as thief, money stealer.

TRUTH IS UNIVERSAL! All human beings alive or now dead seek TRUTH. They maybe living in any corner of this planet but they still seek for TRUTH. They maybe different color of skin… but they still seek and live for truth…. WHY? Because human beings now have EVOLVED from our nearest ancestors – the PRIMATES (Apes). Since man become bipedaled and developed a bigger brain, man began to rationalise and think for himself in relation to his own fellow man. The Corona story will show TRUTH to Filipinos who were recently civilised by Western civilization some 500 years ago.

latest news: senate impeachment court has accepted as evidences his bank records peso and dollar accounts at PSB and BPI….tsk tsk now the thief and his defense team will have a difficult and hard time to explain and convince the people without any doubt that he did not lie in his SALN and that he declared all his wealth truthfully in his SALN…slowly the boat is sinking and everybody’s eagerly awaiting their presentation of evidences both testimonial and documentary evidences plus this latest revelations from ana basa the thief’s wife’s relative, who has the personal knowledge and circumstances of the BGEI case…

Quote: “Jose Ma. Basa III, one of the original BGEI stockholders and Cristina’s uncle, had filed an estafa case against his niece for her alleged failure to account for the P34-million income from the sale of a property on Bustillos Street in Sampaloc, Manila, to the city government.

The case, however,WAS DISMISSED BY THE COURT, and CRISTINA WON A LIBEL CASE against Jose Ma. III and his wife for putting out a public notice in the Philippine Daily Inquirer which she alleged was malicious and put her in a bad light. Jose Ma. III died not long after in the United States. [The notice appeared in the Classified Section of the Inquirer on June 4, 1995. It announced that Jose Ma. III, who claimed to be a majority stockholder, had filed a criminal case against Cristina for allegedly misappropriating rentals due BGEI”. UNQUOTE

The whole above paragraphs speak it all. Clearly, this article is just part of the demolition job against the chief justice.

when will this libelous story will ever end ? Ana admitted that her parents lost a libel case against Cristina Corona. Now it’s Ana’s turn to be sued for libel by the Coronas, no wonder Ana doesn’t want people to know her whereabouts. What a family trademark ? hahahaha

BASA: We always felt that everything happens in God’s time. We did not bring this out. What’s happening to them is their own doing. We did not do anything to cause that to them. They brought it on themselves. We just happened to be included in the impeachment case because it was mentioned in the SALN report.

WHAT’S HAPPENING TO CJ CORONA IS NOT THEIR OWN DOING.

IT IS ABSOLUTELY ABNOY NOYNOY’S MANIPULATION OF THE CORRUPT 188 CONGRESSMEN WHO SIGNED THE DEFECTIVE IMPEACHMENT COMPLAINT.

It doesn’t seem to matter to you if the judiciary is filthy, gross, self-serving, dishonest, decaying, unreliable just to be called as independent. Do you still care for real justice to be given to all the Filipinos and not only those who can afford? It is my personal opinion that what it needs is not only cleaning the judiciary from CJ, but its complete overhaul and disinfection from all the bad traits and norms of the bad society the country has been struggling for so many years. Only after this, that you and most of the Filipinos will be proud again of their judiciary, being not only independent but also for the equal service to everybody.

So this is the type of person the INC is throwing it’s support. They even lobby for his acquittal. Or maybe because they don’t know him yet. But with this revelation from one of the Basa clan, they might or they should have a second thought. The whole world is watching INC. Are they blind followers or not? No doubt!!! We can’t trust our cj. Ana is right. If our CJ can do it to his own clan, what more to others. Maybe even with the other justices, hope not… Guilty Verdict!

It is normal for members of a clan to forget their inter-family squabble and join hands in fighting against anybody who goes against one of their relatives. Corona and wife must have deeply wronged Cristina’s cousins that instead of siding with them, their relatives are joining the prosecution in destroying Corona’s reputation. Moreover, the deep wound was again pierced deeper when Corona, without permission, deposited the clan’s money in his personal account. Thus, if Corona can, without remorse, betray the trust of his wife’s cousins, is he worthy of the country’s trust?

kabayandinako

INC will support anybody good or evil, as long as money are coming in. Members are being duped and made to believe that being one means including who you will support or vote. But according to the Bible, being one means in holiness and not in any way politically. Christ clearly said, render to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s. The effect of solidity among the INC are being used as a very powerful weapon to blackmail politicians who are not doing the things they want. For them solidity means doing anything as one wether it be good or otherwise.

Even if Ana Basa is telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, if she will be put on the witness stand by the prosecution, she will be shredded into pieces by the glib mouthed Cuevas, then followed by Enrile who owed too much gratitude from Cuevas by saving his neck to a surefire prison term for rebellion.

His closeness to FVR , how their relationship blossoms from the start and he as we transferred to Arroyo . Also, the sale of the 34M lot, I am hoping, we could find the pieces of puzzle how the land was sold to such big amount to 34,000 per sq.m. in 2001. We need to know all these facts. The people behind the sale, meaning the government people.

Corona is just in a deep sheet ( has to change the spelling) now. In other words, SOL. sheet out of luck this time. He sure of regreeting his decision to stay his butt . He could have done the Merceditas way, resign and enjoy the millions of loot either from the government or from the Basa heirs.

Yes, it is easy to assasinate a bad character like Corona. If we follow your reasoning, Corona’s cahracter has long been dead when he became the great defender/protector of Arroyo ( working with fvr and arroyo) so Ana Basa’s interview is just a coup de grace , it is like adding and icing on the cake. Your Corona destroyed himself long before he was appointed in the SC.

Well, what will you do if you are Ana Basa? Will you wait until the trial of Corona is completed and decided? This is the right time for them to get the justice that they had been fighting for, for years. Corona should not worry at all because he got the best lawyers in the Philippines defending him, for free pa. If he is clean, then he will be acquitted. Unless, meron siya talagang ginawang masama.

One freezes after reading the breath-taking tales behind the Basa-Guidote Enterprises, Inc’s. saga. And so we thought this only happens on soap operas seen on TV. Every family faces or had encountered some rough sailings at one time or another, and those who haven’t must be so very lucky. But this takes the cake since the main protagonist that was being accused of moral turpitude was no less than the Chief Justice of the nation – the chief bestower of the law and vanguard of equality. If at all he should transcend this chicanery and tomfoolery but didn’t. We never imagined a Supreme conferrer of justice embroiled in an injustice. Assuming all the younger Basa’s statements were true, CJ Corona rightfully deserves what he’s going through. Thus, this nonentity humbly say to the warrior senators: convict the chief!

wawa2172

The Basa-Guidote Enterprises, Inc’s. history as narrated by Ana Basa found its way in the Inquirer. However, in fairness to Corona the story is simply an old hat and the intention of Ana to come out in the open is all but suspicious. It only means to destroy the credibility of the chief justice, where she included a gun pointing incident. The story could just be hearsay as no record of such incident exist and the victim did not file a case against Corona. The quarrel is simply not about honor but money. The story line however, points to Cristina as the legal caretaker of the corporate wealth. While it has nothing to do with the impeachment, timing is a suspect, since it could be used as an “unwritten record”by the senator judges against the CJ. Nonetheless, while the impeachment trial is a political one, the evidences that must be presented must be the real one and not just merely tsismis.

This is for Anna Basa and her family. You should read what Senator Lacson said about the justice system in the Philippines. Review all the news about senator Lacson or interview on senator Lacson and you’ll find out. You have the means to get justice that you’ve been seeking for so many years now.

Yes muddygoose, very disgusting and shameful indeed, for a judge or any person occupying a high governement position like CJ Corona, to use a gun to threathen an old person. If that is the way of administering justice, then real justice will never be within the reach of the weak and the poor. This is the mob rule, that his defenders frequently say against the Filipino people who condemn CJ’s actions, in its real sense and meaning. That maybe the reason why they know it very well and very much afraid of it… because he does it himself. Tsk tsk tsk.

Jose Emmanuel San Felipe

it kind of reminds me of some old films depicting government officials in Mexico during the lawless gunslinger days. Maybe Corona watched a lot of movies like that, which served as an inspiration and blueprint of his supposed rule.

If these senator Judges do not understand Anna Basa’s statement about this greedy, shady Corona couple.. there is no hope for Filipinos and the country itself. THe Corona couple even stole from their family members; corruption, greed, and distortion of facts and injustice are common in this couple vocabulary. I agree, Christina would not cheat and betray her family without the urging and support from this “Chief” Justice..his name means crown..of lies and greed. Shame on you! Open the corporate books of your wife’s family. There would be no monies there to support what you, Renato (we can not call you Chief Justice!) claimed you got to buy mansions and other fancy stuff; you stole from the people.

He cheated his wife, cheated his wife’s family by hiding the BGEI money in his bank account, and he cheated the Filipino people by being a fake Chief Justice (unconstitutional midnight appointment) and by amassing ill-gotten wealth. This cheat should be kicked out of the SC soonest and charges filed against him at the Office of the Ombudsman.

Mud riddled impeachment defense lawyers should they ask stupid question like that??? Why only now did Ana Basa came out? Of course she will come out now because of this opportunity that people will listen to there grief and the truth about CJ Coronas persona. So when do you think is the right time for her and her families to speak out? You Corona lawyers make me sick.

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XYPFIGTBA5LXMX2UBLCQVG5AQE Martin

She was “imported” back to the Philippines after living in the Vegas for 20 years to become a media star for the day. Highly doubt much of what she says is the truth.

It’s nice that the comment section was fixed up…what happen to it the past days ?

jgl414567

The thief justice is really many times over a thief so much so that he even steals from his in laws by using his positon in government.. talaga naman palang sukdulan ang kahayupan at kaswapangan ni Corona kaya pala nagustuhan siya ni GMA!

Happy that the Basa family’s voice was finally heard after 20 years of injustice. ** Hindi natutulog ang Diyos ** , our prayers are with your family & hope that this will open every Filipino’s mind that justice & truth cannot be served if we still have corrupt gov’t officials.

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XYPFIGTBA5LXMX2UBLCQVG5AQE Martin

20 years of injustice??? How did you get that???
Basa has been living in Las Vegas for 20 years running a gambling casino.

As narrated by Anna Basa, her story is convincing, a true confession with all the
eye-opening details that all fall into place and would be difficult
to invent in a work of fiction. The dates, the characters, the incidents
are so rich in detail, at certain points shocking (the gun-toting Corona)
and tragic (old relatives who were cheated of their investment and
died without getting justice).

And it can only come out now after decades have elapsed,
because the public is ready for it, and eager to take an interest in it.
In the past, it would not have gained as much attention and readership
as it does now, with principal characters Renato Corona and his wife in the glare
of spotlight with the Senate trial of the impeached Corona.

In all likelihood the senators, since they are acting as jurors, may laugh
and dismiss this as character assassination, but the people will be on Anna Basa’s
side, justifiably, humanely, even tearfully.

What a joke this is becoming….who imported Basa from USA at this time? If she had any case against Corona…she could have filed it 8 years ago. I guess she just wants to be a media star this week. This act is so well rehearsed …and in the end this is nothing more than a family fight over money.

Yes, many families will be hurt. That is a filipino lifestyle we have —- nepotism is a filipino way. How then can we remove corruption in the Philippines. God gives but the people like ourselves make our Filipinos poor and there is no way for them to rise up from poverty. We all pray but a lot of us do injustice to our own filipinos.

Many of us forgot that God have so many angels. They just crop-up when there is too much injustice & tragedy around us. One of these angels is inside the body of a woman named Ana Basa. Her story is so sad, so tragic, and so convincing. With her revelations, the true persona of Renato Corona is confirmed how selfish & manipulative he is. An ordinary person would have melt in shame with what the angel is revealing to the world.

You are lucky young lady. The Impeachment Trial is a Blessing in Disguise to your family.
For sure, with the revelations in the Trial that SALN of Corona and ITR does not match is in your family’s favor.
P11 million and P32.6 million of Basa Guidote Enterprise will be returned to the company as this is the reason for discrepancy.
You will not be Oppressed but Blessed. Good luck.

http://twitter.com/toothpastesales be honest

So much was said by this beauty Anna Basa, mainly about her family and relatives of the company. Some points confused me whether she twisted some facts –

1) If her parents and relatives are stockholders, can she present their original stock-holders certificates ?
2) ” in 1989 Cristina Corona is the administratrix of PGEI and stockholders have denied their legal rights to inspect the books of PGEI “. The books are supposed to be kept by the Coporate Secretary under the law. Who was and is the Coporate Secretary ?
3) Were there any Board meetings or Board resolutions since then that she can show her parents or relatives were attending the Board meetings ?
4) SEC was and still is the government agency that govern intra-coporate affairs, did her parents or relatives complained to the SEC ? Mind you in 1989 SEC was so powerful that even Erap cant replace SEC Chairman Yasay at that time.

There are still many doubts about what she said and in particular at this point in time.
Let her be interviewed on tv and show proof on what she said.
Since she doesnt have a warrant of arrest.

hope ana basa stays here longer so she can answer your questions truthfully … but i’m sure she’ll hurriedly leave before she’s found out or mabuko

I read this article over and over…hindi kapani-paniwala mga sinasabi dito…naghahabol lang ito ng share that they are not entitled, also, to get free media mileage against the Coronas, kasi 2x na silang natatalo sa korte for making such libelous statements….absolutely NOT credible!

Ana Basa will not just come in the open just to tell lies…i’m sure she has all the papers….one cannot just come in the open and attack the CHIEF JUSTICE at that….it takes courage to come up and fight a giant.

john clark

First of all the Trolls… Will have a tough time slaming the Administration on this Because this is a Private matter… But a private matter thrust into the public domain.
A lot of people dont belive her story because they support the inssufferable man… If you can call Him A man…

What I dont get is. Not the Chief Justice… For him to take the money is understandable in a twisted way… Because he is a creature of habit… Why really turns my stomach is the wife… How could she do that to her Family?

Nabulag sa pera and lahat ginamit para mahawakan…

This is completely against Filipino Culture and Traditions…

If the Spouses Corona could do this to their own family… What more to people they hardly know or their enemies…

The Defense says why only now… My answer is would you hit your head against a solid wall protecting them… Made of influence and power… They have a relatively quiet life in the United States thats why they fled there.

A few months ago someone said be ready all your skeletons in the closet will be exposed…
I dont think Corona did not listen…
I think he listened now…

The chief Ombudsman turned out to be the smart one… She quit her ghosts and skeletons are still in the closet…

Accomplisments nya.
1. Flat tax a simplified tax system
2. The Trade Reform Act. An act to equalize trade between the US and another country. A method to control importation.
3. Revived a country whos’ legislature judicial and executive branch was destroyed by a japanese terrorist…

it is a family issue, this Ana Basa looks like she just want the public to believe her side of the story, There are always two sides of the story. Ms Basa you ought to talk this over with the people concern, that’s Mrs. Corona your relative. CJ Corona position as a Chief Justice has nothing to do with the job performance as a Chief Justice, he has done a superb job and the rest of the Justices in delivering justice to the oppress like the poor farmers of hacienda Luisita and others who never in so many years been heard for their cry for justice.

john clark

I agree it was a family issue… If you took the time to read… Di nga sumasagot sa sulat. And why the heck are you bringing up hacienda luisita issue here?
Di yan pinaguusapan dito? Kanina ko pa nariring yan sa tv and radio Corona and company enjoys diverting the issue like YOU!

Since you bring up hacienda luisita i think it is a dead issue, i owned hacienda luisita i’d give it up as well… The agriculture sector is a pain in the neck… And getting money to revive Luisita is next to impossible.
I think the Aquinos want their money and do something else with it, be it what ever amount.

Does this still surprise anyone that family members like Ana Basa will tell only the story to benefit her, she needs to be matured enough and iron this out with Cristina Roco-Corona her relative, and besides this not unusual when it comes to inheritance, there will always dissatisfaction one way or another from both sides of the family per say., this has nothing to do with CJ Corona position as chief justice.

PinoyConcerned888

To be a Chief Justice is to have Credibility, Integrity, good moral character… etc which seems to be absent in CJ coronas personality it might be on his younger years he has these, but on his later years upon partnering with GMA, his principles had become corrupted and looses all his delikadeza. Now seems he is reaping what he sow and loosing his reputations

Badjin

This is a TRAP. If we accept the story that the money were of the Basa’s then the defense can trumpet to the public that CJ’s bank deposits were not his but of the Basa and Guidote – pinatago lang. But can he keep a corporation’s funds without a board resolution, and make a fortune out from it? Is it time for him to do an Angie Reyes act?

You donot know the real story , this girl is only telling one side of the story and besides this woman Ana Basa should not use the public be involved with their family problem. This is very common problem with every human beings when it comes to inheritance and sorry Ana , we know better who to believe. This is a family issue, and this is your problem, not ours, We cannot sympathize with you, bring it to the court , not to the public.this is a private issue,period

Cion,

Meron ka bang common sense at marunong ka bang magbasa? They were oppressed by Corona couple using their power in the government, and that’s their sentiments na wala silang magawa so umalis na lang sila and waited for the proper time. And this is the proper time for them na mabigyan sila ng justice. Natural if you try to fight a powerful corrupt person you will think of your own protection lalo pa etong si corona e possible syang patayin. Kaya tama lang ang ginawa ni Ana na pumunta sa Media bago sa court na kung saan hawak din ni corona, who claims he knows his law. At isa pa she knows the real story because she is the relative of cristina….

Tama na yan Cion, and will you please “pull your thoughts together” Ano ba talaga ang gusto mo? A country without corruption and injustices or you just hate Ana Basa? and pro Corona ka talaga. You are now being bullied with your crooked idealism. I’m sorry for that. :)

This girl, should know better, she should take the matters to the court ,this is a typical dissatisfaction of inheritance ,which usually happens when there is wealth involved. This is a family issue and ought to be discuss privately amongst them, the people and the gov’t of the Philippines has nothing to do with this issue ,its a family issue,period.

Just the tip of an iceberg but it sure looks like one.
1. It’s too risky to say these if you have much to lose and not much to gain.
2. There are too many details for her to just make this up.
3. She supposedly has incontrovertible documents from way back.
4. The TJ has himself admitted to blind ambition, wanting to become CJ so badly.
5. His legal defense SOP is passing the blame and using technicalities.
6. Her relatives who can attest to her allegations are still alive and supposedly fighting TJ.
7. The documents (SEC, Manila Treasury, LRC) and money trail can easily be traced.
Go, go Ana Basa; the people, truth and fairness are with you!

I completely agree with you cion, that everybody must be very careful with the b*m CJ since he can always harrass and even poke a gun to anybody who goes against his way. He has done it with a helpless old man, thus he can also do it again even to somebody who fights him. They say that, if you have done it once and get away with it, then there’s no problem to do it once more. Moreover, I believe that he will do anything, even sell his soul to S*t*n, just to get away with this present impeachment trial.

go cion. keep going. but at this point, no one among really knows the truth, unless you do because you are so sure. but going by the details of her account and the coherence of her details, she may have some truth.

a truly responsible and mature stance at this moment is to remain open, not to judge and wait for further developments.

Ms. Ana Basa, this issue has nothing to do with the Article of Impeachment. Shame on you, to include the public with your personal problem, We have many Filipinos who are hungry and being neglected by this unwarranted Impeachment and your personal problem is not our concern,

that was what she said if you read the article carefully…it has nothing to do with the impeachment but was just a reaction on what was revealed in the trial regarding the money withdrawn from the bank w/c Corona camp said is from BGEI…… hope it’s clear Corona puppet!!!!

Cion, if you think the statements of Ana Basa won’t help you, just keep it to yourself, because the Filipino people are hopeful with this revelations and are waiting for Justice to be served out of this Chief Injustice of the Supreme Court on trial.

If you think you can live in this world with these stinky thieves then do it alone… the rest of the Filipinos deserve to have a better life and with a better Justice System.

yeah you’re right she didnt appear in the trial and never will be during the defense presentation….she just told their clan’s story their in justice so people will know nato and tina coming from their own relatives this is a first hand story with all personal knowledge and not just hearsay…she says the people will be the judge….the cases they filed against the coronas are true and it is there for you to check and its still pending up to now so their stories are believable….

Beguine

If this Ana Basa story would in the near future be made into a movie,
a key scene would be Ana’s recent visit to her aunt, Sister Flor.

Sister Flor: What brings you here my child?

Ana Basa: (Beaming) Just a visit especially to wish you many happy returns.

Sister Flor: (Sighs) Oh my Lord, every morning now I wake up and can’t
believe I’m 90 and still here.

Ana: I knelt down on my father’s deathbed. I promised
him I will never forget what they did to my father.

Sister Flor: Did your father say something?

Ana: He smiled. Bitterly. I wept and sobbed and he put
his hand on my head to calm me down.

Sister Flor: (looking up, more to herself than to Ana) The Lord giveth and
the Lord taketh away. I just wanna see justice in my lifetime.

(Ana kneels down in front of the nun, and puts her arms around her
aunt and weeps.)

Corona vehemently denies that he pointed a gun at Besa’s houseboy named Indo as alleged by Ms.Besa. The best way to confirm or belie this statement is for the police to investigate if Corona ever had a licensed hand gun registered under his name.

eye_in_the_sky

great. but i wonder if having a license is a precondition to pointing a gun against the head of somebody.

pedronimo

That’s precisely my point. For Corona to point a licensed gun at anybody is tantamount to attempted murder, not self-defense in this case. What if the NBI and/or PNP confirms that Corona does not have any gun, licensed or not? Then Ms. Basa’s story falls flat on its face. The investigators will have to be thorough to prove or disprove this gun-pointing issue.

What else but the maneuvering and influence of Renato Corona that made it possible for Cristina, just a minor or holding an insignificant share of 2% to that company, to become the custodian of the P34.7M payment of the Manila City government to the property of BGEI. This is another angle of the character of Corona and also the corruption in the justice system.

http://www.facebook.com/jojiesapnu Geogina Sapnu Garcia

God is in control of everything, everything has it’s own time. God now is working to reveal the truth, I pity the Corona family, why they need to do such an horrible thing because of money.. Why people so greed, why they just live within their means and trust God for everything. tsk tsk tsk. kawawa naman mga tao na ito. Sana not only their lives here on earth that they will think of or consider but the lives after they die physically. that is more important, the life you will have after death. Sana piliin natin to live with our Lord in HIS Kingdom.

JosephNess

the proof to this BGEI issue was there under the CJ bank accounts, P34 M as insisted belonging to the BGEI, a clear indication that it was hidden for a long time from all the remaining heirs of this family business, and for what purpose ? only the keeper of these accounts can explain….

BGEI has for its secondary purpose as a corporation to be in the lending business (according to SEC)

I believe anybody even its owners can be granted a loan from the corporation since a corporation is a separate entity distinct from the personalities of its owners or stockholders (learned this from my accounting and law subjects decades ago)

Is that a defence argument? Two wrongs (one proven beyond all doubt, one alleged) make Corona’s crimes right?

Fakescthiefjustice

Corona owned a dollar account in PSBank with an alleged initial deposit of $700,000 or P30 million.

10 bank accounts in the name of the Chief Justice. The five were local currency deposits– two accounts had an ending balance of P12.5 million and P7.1 million or close to P20 million as of December 31, 2010.

“(We were really oppressed) in a way that I can’t even express in words the sufferings…I agonize over this decision to come out and spill unflattering information… This is not about the case. It’s about the injustice…we’re not a vindictive people. We are not here to get even or anything…we really feel sad for his family and what they must be going through…. we’re not in control, God is in control. Everything’s gonna happen in God’s time…Flory is very forgiving because she’s a nun, but what about the truth? if you forgive someone, what about the truth? What about the injustice?…. What we know for sure is that God will render justice with all fairness, equality and firmness…everything happens in God’s time. We did not bring this out. What’s happening to them is their own doing. We did not do anything to cause that to them. They brought it on themselves….we were so helpless and powerless…it says “who are we to judge?” I’m not judging anybody.”
———–

Oh, for heaven’s sake.

How is she so helpless or powerless with God on her side? I’m confused. This sounds like she’s blaspheming His Name. Or she seems to feel God would be on the side of evil-doers. What side is God on, anyway? I know the answer to that one, according to The Holy Bible. Clue: it sure ain’t the side of “children”. Millions, tens of millions of children are slaughtered by the ‘fearsome’ God of the OT. They die in the Bible whenever God feels the need to make a point; to Hosea, Sodom & Gomorrah, King David, anyone, everyone really. The OT has a single over-riding ‘theme'; when God is angry, children die.

Only the rich can afford to build an Ark. How lucky were those kids? No one to play with! They’re just like every poor kid I met when I was a kid; the poorest of whom were the tragic miserable wretches born “into money”. Pretty unlucky really; but then they’ll spend their entire lives desperately trying to convince you how happy they are. No really, they’re so tragic with their billboards of misery. Their bling. Inducing envy (misery, angst, suffering) to manufacture happiness? They could be a lot less convincing; if they wanted to be convincingly happy. Happy people are impossibly convincing. You can tell because they’re not trying to convince strangers that they’re happy. They don’t wear bling. Misery does. Their stupid bling gives their miserable game of deceit away.

The children of Job (in the Holy Bible’s Book of Job) were born “into money”. Job was rich. But he loved God a LOT. So much, God felt compelled to PROVE it. Strange. Why God feels compelled to prove anything to anyone is a question that doesn’t interest me; because I’m not a good Christian. I think for myself, and I have – faith – that if I don’t, someone is going to come along wanting the job of thinking for me. And that would be very bad news for my children.

Children should be taught to think for themselves, to protect themselves from confused Christians (and other – caring – types of confusion). There are a million ‘reasons’ for killing children. They’re all equally evil, but some are more ‘equal’ than others. Like the reason God killed Job’s children, for example. Coldly killed by Loving God to make a neurotic point about insane Love? A point made to Satan, no less? So much for ‘free will’. What’s the point of having free will, if your exercising it means your children have to die?

The point is fear. Look how afraid this good Christian is; afraid of everything, claiming to be afraid of nothing. She’s trying way too hard, trying to hold onto her faith. It’s like emotional bling. She’s just trying too hard. It gives the game away.

She’s a very good Christian. That’s a pity for all the children who died and suffered (in part) because she stayed silent, thinking God wouldn’t be on her side. The INC say God doesn’t do politics; when they mass two million poor people to rally in support of corruption. Sorry, in support of God. Because God needs support, suddenly? Is he omnipotent or isn’t he.

It seems to me that when your victimisation / religion places your child’s welfare (or life) at risk; you have a decision to make: Be a good Christian, or be a good Human. It’s one or the other.

Christians are taught to suffer in silence. Christians are taught to have undying faith in His Plan (so ‘mysterious’, the way He works – or it would seem so, if you were easily confused).

She’s a very good Christian, and that’s a shame. Good Christians make terrible Human beings. Partly because they live with so much (imagined) shame.

It’s one of the many reasons why humanity, more than at any point in human history, has never come close to being so convincingly…inhumane.

ms. ana’s story might be a double edged sword initially hurting cj but indirectly helping his defense….. ms. ana states that the money is not cj’s money…. there is no case vs coronas regarding the cash or gun toting so they have no liability at this time…… so it can be God or the devil at work….

She saw an opportunity to discredit Corona and family and she took it. If you have a family dispute going on 30 years, what better way to discredit your opponent than appearing in front of the media and spout hearsay and conjecture. That does not mean everything she say is true. Being a nun, Flora Basa is not infallible after all, she wasn’t born a nun. If Ana Basa has any concrete proof of what she says, then she should present it to the impeachment court instead of using yellow journalism to discredit Corona.

Can’t help but notice why the CJ is getting all these charges both as a public person and a private person regarding greed for money and power. A justice of the supreme court specially a CJ should be beyond reproach. Integrity and probity are not only simply virtues expected of a justice, those virtues are INTEGRAL AND REQUIRED by the constitution (article 8, section 7, item 3).

Lolo_Basyong

Simplify1: Don’t believe all the ‘charges’ against the CJ. Hehehehehehe… Remember the ‘shocking’ revelations about his alleged 45 properties made by the prosecution before the trial even started? Well, they had to admit later that they lied. Remember, when you’re targeted for demolition, you can expect everything including the kitchen sink to be hurled at you. Even the ‘beloved’ Cory had her detractors, ie, how she protected Hacienda Luisita from agrarian reform with the now nullified Stock Distribution Scheme, etc. Do your own research; separate the chaff from the grain. That way, you will discern who’s telling the truth and who’s engaged in character assassination.

You’re right Lolo…the alleged 45 properties were inflated. But based from their last count, 21 properties lang pala…That’s still more than 15 properties reported in his SALN… interesting to see how he reconciles these disparities…

Simplify1: Interesting indeed what the defense will present. Remember, it hasn’t even started presenting evidence. Hehehehehe… Until that time, reserve judgment. That’s just fair.

The only reason that it goes down is that the defense were able to block the presentation of those in the name of suspected dummies such as their children and in-laws. But then being dishonest on 1 or 1 dozen still sums up to being dishonest.

So much is happening right now…each side has their own version but bottom line whatever happens we can never trust a man named “Renato Corona” of the Supreme Court. We will never grow having him in the Supreme Court. Kawawa naman tayong mga Pilipino!

Let the TRUTH comes out. I sincerely believed that Ms. Ana Basa & her relatives are telling the truth but we should also listen to CJ & Cristina Corona’s side. Maybe the case will be re-opened in a fair trial court where no influence of a highest position intervenes and let the true justice run its course. Then justice will be served whoever has it.

The way you talk seems to indicate you are a casino gambler too like Ana. Let’s be fair with Justice Corona. A belated allegation like those of Ana, and the alleged pointing of gun at Aguillon, is really suspicious. It is clearly made up. why don’t you go on with gambling at Las Vegas Ana so you will have more fun. he he.

This is just another family inheritance dispute and there is no place for the public to be the judge to this matter, Ana Basa talk it over to your family and maybe you will get a little piece of the earnings saved by your Aunt Cristina, cuz this matter is your’s alone, We cannot meddle with your personal problem.

You are missing the point….what they are saying reflect deeply on Corona’s integrity and probity. Corona’s character is on trial here. Do not belittle their testimonies because it shows what kind of a person Corona is aside from being dishonest he is also greedy. Are you a TROLL? Just asking.

Kawawa ka naman making a comment like that… maybe you need to understand the point that is if you are able to understand, simple as it is

Looks like a character assasination job by the Inquirer. Indeed, why only now. Aguillon is dead, and he can’t even confirm if he executed the alleged affidavit. Ana’s complaint and that of Aguillon should have been filed with the JBC to blockCorona’s appointment to the Supreme Court. Baka busy lang si Ana sa pagsusugal sa casino sa Las Vegas. Her character cannot be trusted. he he

If there was a hearing re: the family dispute and Renato Corona , not as Chief Justice came with his wife Cristina during the hearing, that is only proper for a husband to be there with his wife,Cristina and that doesn’t mean he is there in the hearing working as CJ of the Supreme Court, No.he is there as a private citizen

I do not understand how a corporation can lose the case to one of the stockholders unless undue pressure was exerted on the judge. How can a single stockholder like Cristina Corona unilaterally keep and spend the corporation’s money as she wishes? There is something fishy here. Maybe another nail for CJ Corona’s coffin.

He he. It looks to me the Inquirer is doing a character assasination job. If it is true, then Ana and her relatives should have filed complaints withthe Judicial and Bar Council to block Corona’s appointment to the Judiciary. Aguillon should have filed a criminal case against Corona, and it should have been used to block Corona’s appointment. Why only now, indeed? Aguillon is dead, and he allegedly has an affidavit? That’s hearsay. Aguillon is not even around to confirm his affidavit. The Villaraza Cruz Somera law office might even have forged the signature. Napaka-joker naman.

Your Inquirer interviewer/reporter asks Ana Basa if there is poetic justice there? Aha, your journalist is making a suggestion! That’s not objective journalism. It suggests an angle. You are clearly trying Corona in public, not in the impeachment court. The prosecution is happy because Aguiilon is dead, and Sister Flory, at 93, will not be presented for being senile. The affidavit of Aguillon is most probably made up by them or the CVC law firm. At 83, and sickly with TB, how could Aguillon write his name so well? Ehe. Why did you not present Ana and sister Flory earlier on in the trial? You thought you had good evidence then? Palpak kayo kaya naghanap na naman kayo ng bagong kalokohan! Sa media pa ninyo pinalabas, hindi sa korte. Ay naku!

to refute blood relatives’ public statements, in the same manner cristina corona must disclose how she acquired bgei!
